ABOUT US

Our Mission

The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park (AMM) educates youth and adults about the Annapolis area’s rich maritime heritage and the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay through programs, exhibits and community events. We accomplish this mission through an engaging suite of hands-on programming and by bringing visitors to our two unique locations, at the mouth of Back Creek overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. The Education Center at the AMM’s Park Campus annually serves more than 12,000 students and adults. We aim to help construct a connection between people and the environment by leading hands-on activities that foster positive outdoor experiences and help stimulate critical thinking. These experiences can help establish a foundation for future sustainable environmental decision making. AMM offers four free core programs, as well as field trips, family programs, afterschool, summer camp, and more.
